Trying out the new netflix app now. Any info on controls? Back/left pauses it instead of going back to the main screen. Play pauses it instead of showing the current time. The info button doesn't do anything. Up works like back and takes you to app.

The Netflix app is not working using the HDUI, it does work using the SDUI, im hoping this straightens its self out.
It looks really nice in the SD menu, sort of like the PS3 app, it just needs to be working in the HDUI.

BTW,
Thanks for the heads up Margret, the notes are a very welcome thing!

In the HDUI go to My Video Providers and turn the netflix and youtube app's on and off. That got them working for me.

Wow. This is great and the feedback and notes and engineers attention to the community is fantastic. Reminds me of DirecTVs CE program which has been a huge success and really helped them push their in house DVRs to where they are in a short time.

YEs thanks. I rebooted one of my TiVos remotely from my HAVA HD. I'm getting into Netflix right now. The first time it didn't come up so I went into the video provider section and when I tried Netflix again it came up.

My reaction:
I like the more fully featured Netflix and Youtube apps - although they feel a bit sluggish. The UI is very different and takes time to get used to. Youtube quality is appears to be HD, although it would be nice if it told me what kind of quality stream I was viewing in the info panel.

This is my first time using the HD UI (couldn't before due to lack of parental control), and it looks nice. Definitely slower though. I'll have to use it for a while and see how I like it.

First thing I did was turn off the live TV and playback window in the top corner. Very annoying that it would not pause when hitting the TiVo button to go back to the menu. I'll also probably disable all recommendations above, hopefully that will improve the responsiveness of the UI.

One odd thing... when I switched to the HD UI, the screen blacked out for about 10 seconds. Then the HD home screen appeared. Strange. (Not a TV issue, my TV switches modes fast)

However, the Netflix need for re-entering of name/password had me going until I read this thread. Trying to select a Netflix movie from the Tivo search for movie list just kept giving a network not available error and I had no clue that NetFlix wanted the above data to be reentered. This should be highlighted in the install message or there will be LOTS of incoming calls about a broken update!

And am I to assume that Hulu and Amazon info will need to be re-entered too?

Here's an interesting wrinkle in the Netflix App that probably affects few systems, but affects mine. Apologies if this is Greek to non-technophiles.

I have both a 720P TV and a 1080P/24 capable projector hooked to my Tivo through a preamp. When a Netflix movie starts, from what I can tell, it increases the resolution as it builds it's buffer. A movie starts in SD (or something worse than that), then switches to 1080i, then, after another 10 seconds, switches to 1080p/24.

For me, if I'm watching on my TV, I lose the picture when it switches to 1080p/24 (presumably because my preamp goes into some kind of pass through mode, and my TV can't handle the 1080p/24 signal). At that point, I can hear the sound, but can't see anything. If I'm watching on my projector, the picture comes back, looking great when it makes this final switch.

No big deal, I think, since I will probably always be on my project when I'm watching 1080p/24 movies, but I was confused as to why I was getting audio only on the TV after the movie started playing fine. I'm pretty sure I've figured it out now.

Like everyone else, I want to thank Margret and her team for posting a release notes and for getting the requested users updated so quickly. When I got home, mine had already gotten the update and was pending restart.... so I restarted it!

Tech of the web had a tip on how to minimize the video black out on Netflix.

"To minimize the issue with video switching: Go to “Settings” and then “Video”. Under “Video Output Formats”, set the formats only to 1080i and 1080P/24 (pass-through). HD shows that stream at 1080i / 30FPS won’t have to renegoiate the HDMI connection with the TV and that will eliminate those black-outs. One example of an HD show at 1080i / 30 FPS is Doctor Who."

I'm watching Ghostbusters on NetFlix, in HD with 5.1 sound. The audio is consistently out of sync.

One thing you might want to check is your audio settings on your receiver/television. I found that changing the audio settings on my Pioneer Kuro TV corrected some lipsync issues I was having with Netflix.

In my case I altered the advanced audio settings under the Sound Effects menu. There are three options - SRS Surround Sound, SRS Focus, and SRS TruBass. I turned all options to Off since they were previously set to On. There was some reading I was doing on the Roku site about Netflix audio sync options that led me to this debug technique.

Surprisingly, this corrected the lip sync issue so it appears to be some sort of decoding issue by my TV of the Netflix audio tracks.

With that said, I have my Elite/XL4 connected directly to my TV via HDMI without a 5.1 receiver.

I saw that both of mine were in 'pending restart' so, one at a time, I restarted them.

I'm intrigued with the 'clock' thing and tried the instruction. While I do see the clock while I am IN the HD menu, I don't see it on the screen while I'm watching a show. Am I doing something wrong? I followed the instruction given.

Ooh, I did just notice that all those ad blocks on the top of the HD menu are gone now. I hope that stays gone! I hated that. Now if I can only figure out how I did that so I can do it on the other Tivo. UGH! Never mind. They're back.

But I did manage to get the clock after I did the process about a dozen times.

Started watching my first show on Netflix and mine seems to do the same thing. Starts out very pixelated (not sure if that's a real word) then picture starts to get better after some seconds.
